“Steve excels at both the science and art of mediation. He is a first-rate listener, demonstrates that he is unbiased in his approach to the issues, and he possesses strong communication skills. He has a quiet confidence about him that puts both corporate and individual clients at ease. He also is tenacious in his pursuit of a resolution.”
